I think the author would do well to front load "the why". Seems very over the top, sometimes you want to do things just because. Totally valid, but helps contextual the blog.

They are essentially choosing the philosophy of optimizing for speed in every dimension.

The tools selected are faster than their more mainstream counterparts — but since it's a static site anyway, the pre-build side of the toolchain is more about "nice dev ux" and the post-build is more about "really fast to load and read".

Much faster still would be to not set up a container for what appears to be a one-off run of some SSG-generation library on some Markdown files.

I love Caddy and it's fast enough. But it's not the fastest. nginx is generally faster for example.

So I can't agree.

Author (not OP) here. In hindsight, I wish I’d explained “the why” mostly to save so many folks in this thread from making lots of assumptions. The third paragraph in this comment touches on that: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44993875

We both speak the same language. I can get to grips with "front load" but what does:

"helps contextual the blog" mean?

It appears, for the verb, you meant: "frobnicate".

It's supposed to be 'contextualize': putting it in context, ~explain.

Yep, that's what I meant. My fingers don't always type the right word - thanks!
